Bruh that was a question. I don't listen to rap now. I'm from the old school. You really shouldn't be surprised by my question. Never saw so many white rappers get respect in my life in hip hop like it is now. So why can't a Messican run shyt in rap now?

Why you trying to rush to see that 8-5 season?

Better than not having a reason to watch at all like Criminole fans

How when we don't have frequent 8-5 and 7-6 season like you have the past five years? It's like Ground hog's day with Auburn and the online fans are so excited in the beginning of the season.At the end of the season then they are shocked at the same results. Just wanted to know why ya'll do that when ya''ll know the outcome.

18 for '18: College football's fastest players

The 18 for '18 series continues with a look at the fastest players in college football for the upcoming season. Of course, the distinction of who is fastest of all can be a never-ending argument circling around various forms of criteria. Our pick for the fastest player last year -- LSU CB Donte Jackson -- acquitted himself well at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine, where his 4.32-second clocking in the 40-yard dash tied him for the best time of the event. To compile this year's group of speedsters, we considered a variety of factors, including results from track and field events and unofficial 40-yard dash times.

  Nevada has clocked its freshman All-American at 4.35 seconds in the 40-yard dash, and that speed certainly showed up on the field in his first college season. Mannix's 57 receptions tied for second among all FBS freshmen. As a high school track star, he recorded a 10.81 in the 100 meters, and was a member of a Texas state champion 4x100 relay team at Midland High School in 2015.

  16. Lorenzo Lingard, RB, Miami
  We've not seen Lingard, a true freshman, on the field yet, but with his speed, it's just a matter of time before he jets past defenders. A five-star recruit from Orange City, Florida, Lingard enrolled at UM for the spring semester and wasted no time establishing himself as the fastest man on the roster. He was clocked at 4.27 seconds in the 40-yard dash in team testing, then joined the UM track squad after spring football practice and was installed as the anchor leg on the Hurricanes' 4x100 relay team for the National Relay Championships. In high school, he was a Florida state champion in the 110-meter hurdles event with a personal best time of 13.94 seconds.

  15. John Burt, WR, Texas
  Burt makes his third consecutive appearance as one of our fastest players after running a personal-best 13.46 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles at the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon, on June 6, qualifying him for NCAA Finals competition in the event. He finished first in the Big 12 Championships with a wind-aided 13.56 in May. He's clocked a 6.94 time this year in the 60, and a 10.72 in the 100. On the field, Burt caught just 11 passes last year but unsurprisingly led UT receivers in yards per catch (16.1).

  14. Dominic Davis, CB/RB, USC
  We didn't hear from the Trojans' fastest player on the football field last year, as he took a redshirt to assist in his transition from running back to cornerback. The payoff should come this fall as Davis brings track-proven speed to the USC secondary. Although he didn't run track this year, he's been clocked at 10.47 seconds in the 100 meters and holds the USC freshman indoor record with a 6.78-second time in the 60.

  13. Keyshawn Canady, RB/CB, East Carolina
  The cousin of Stanford star RB Bryce Love, who's also on this list, certainly got the same family speed gene that Love did. ECU has clocked Canady at 4.35 seconds in the 40-yard dash, and in track, he runs the anchor leg of the Pirates' 4x100 relay team. The ECU coaching staff played Canady at cornerback last year, but gave him a look at running back in the spring. It remains to be seen if he stays in the Pirates' backfield, but either way, the sophomore's wheels will be a big asset.

  12. Darius Slayton, WR, Auburn
  The undisputed deep threat in the Tigers' passing attack has been clocked at 4.35 seconds in the 40-yard dash, and as a high school track star, he clocked a 10.53-second 100-meter time despite a groin pull. He stretched the field for 22.2 yards per catch last season, which ranked fifth in the nation. Auburn will need him to be a more complete receiver this fall, but when it's time to take the top off the defense, he'll again be QB Jarrett Stidham's main target.

  11. Demetris Robertson, WR, Cal
  Cal's blazing-fast receiver never got his 2017 campaign off the ground, succumbing to a season-ending injury after just two games. But expect nothing short of Robertson's best wheels back at Cal this fall; he ran a 4.35-second 40-yard dash this spring and figures to be a key figure in the Bears' receiving corps in 2018. Prior to the injury, he also ran track at Cal and was timed at 10.77 seconds in the 100 meters (2017).

  10. Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma
  Brown replaced Dede Westbrook as the Sooners' most explosive wide receiver last year in fabulous fashion, producing 19.2 yards per catch (57 for 1,095) in his first year at OU as a junior-college signee. Nicknamed "Hollywood" (he's from Hollywood, Florida.), Brown has been clocked at 4.33 seconds in the 40-yard dash. Consider the comments of former Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield, who told the Associated Press last year: "I think we saw somewhat with what Dede could do last year with that speed that he had, but I think Marquise is even faster. I love Dede, but Marquise, he's got another gear."

  9. Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU
  Gary Patterson has brought his share of burners to TCU, and Reagor can compete with any of them. His 4.32-second 40-yard dash is the best current time in the program. Last year, he passed on the chance for January enrollment at TCU in order to compete in track as a high school senior. But he didn't need the advantage of spring practice to make an impact as a freshman. Reagor was selected the Big 12's co-Offensive Freshman of the Year after leading the team in receiving yards (576) and touchdowns (8, which was the most by any true freshman in the nation).

We'd love to line them up for one, but in terms of football speed, the nod must go to Gladney after the Horned Frogs junior ran the Cardinal RB down from behind, without the benefit of a pursuit angle, on a breakaway run in the Alamo Bowl last year (third play in this clip). TCU has clocked Gladney as low as 4.34 seconds in the 40-yard dash. He also made an outstanding pick against Texas Tech last year, which he returned 94 yards for a score.

  5. Isaiah Brandt-Sims, WR, Stanford
  Sims makes his fourth consecutive appearance in the series with personal bests that include a 10.41-second 100-meter dash and a 6.81 60 for the Stanford track squad. While it's common for college football/track athletes to ditch track and focus only on football after a season or two, Brandt-Sims has maintained his place on both rosters for his entire career; he'll be a fifth-year senior this fall. At the 2018 Big Meet between Stanford and Cal in April, he turned in first-place finishes in three events (100, 200 4x100 relay). On the gridiron, Brandt-Sims has been a reserve throughout his career.
